cftry

Used with one or more cfcatch tags. Together, they catch and
process exceptions in CFML pages. Exceptions are events
that disrupt the normal flow of instructions in a CFML
page, such as failed database operations, missing include
files, and developer-specified events.

<cftry>

try { } catch (any e) {}

Examples
